Freshman Politicians
Plan Elections, Rally
Senate Deals
With Budget,
Social Issues
"Student senate retreat Satur
day, Sept. 22, served to combine
the uninspiring matters of regular
senate work with the tasks of or-ientation
for the new senate," stat-ed
senate president Jim Spickle-mier.
The retreat, held at Bethany Bap-tist
church in St. Paul, consisted
of a morning business session and
two afternoon lectures dealing with
student government.
Budget and election procedures
provoked discussion at the morn-ing
business session. Last year's
budget of $7,380.88 was compar-ed
with the proposed 1962 bud-get
of $7,500.00 and new expendi-tures
were added.
Student senate makes financial
provision for the academic, athle-tic,
cultural, religious and social
standing committees, in addition
to the cost of the senate itself and
special committee expenditures
such as homecoming.
The senate also felt it necessary
to establish an election procedure
and authoritative administration of
this procedure before freshmen
elections.
Orientation to parliamentary
procedure and review of the new
senate constitution by Dean
Dahlquist concluded the morning
sessions.
Influence of student government
Ull ibbLICJ W 1
the first afternoon lecture present-ed
by Dr. I. Fahs, assistant profes-sor
of sociology.
Dr. Fahs first dealt with the role
of the alleged "rebel," the person
who is more concerned with per-sonal
attention than telling the
truth, who is often present in stu-dent
governments. Secondly he
spoke concerning the extent that
Christian faith deals with social
values.
A discussion of student govern-ment
leadership on the campus by
Dr. Roy Dalton, professor of his-tory,
closed the afternoon session.
LIBRARY EXHIBITS GIFT
A grant of 21 books for the
mental health reference library
is on display in Bethel's library.
This book grant is the second
received by Bethel from the di-vision
of medical services of the
department of public welfare.
Committee Picks
Cheering Squad
In Final Try-outs
"Lots of pep and a winning
smile are of primary importance,"
says sophomore Pat Anderson con-cerning
this year's cheerleading
try-outs.
Final judging to select those
girls who will complete the "62-63"
squad will take place tomorrow.
Various members of the faculty
and athletic council will be pre-sent.
A cheerleading workshop was
held during the Freshman retreat
at Trout Lake camp. The purpose
of this afternoon session was to
briefly acquaint interested girls
with procedure and various cheers.
Big and little sisters will have
the opportunity to become better
acquainted at the twenty-fifth an-nual
BWA Banquet tonight at 6:30
p.m. at the First Christian Church
of Minneapolis.
This banquet serves as an intro-duction
for Bethel girls to the pro-gram
of BWA as well as the pro-cedures
of Nik Dag, Bethel's turn-about.
Sonhomorec will present a Nik
Dag skit illustrating the finer
art of stalking dates for this
annual event.
Mrs. John Bergson, a member of
the first BWA cabinet, will give the
invocation, and Mrs. Thurlow Yax-
Miller To Give
Fall Lectures
Dr. Donald G. Miller, president
of Pittsburgh Theological seminary,
will discuss the "Ministry of Re-conciliation"
as guest speaker for
the annual fall seminary lecture-ship
October 2-5 at 10 a.m. in the
college auditorium.
"Biblical Theological Preach-ing,"
"Preaching and the Gospel,"
"Preaching and the Law," and
"Preaching and Doctrine" are the
topics of daily discussions by Dr.
Miller.
Dr. Miller holds his masters
degree from the Biblical semin-ary
of New York and his doc-toral
degree from New York
university. He did post doctoral
work in Montpellier, France, and
in Basle, Switzerland.
Since 1944 Dr. Miller served as
professor of New Testament at
Union Theological seminary, Rich-mond,
Va. Previous to this exper-ience
he taught in the Pyengyang
Foreign school in Korea, Biblical
seminary of New York, and Lu-theran
Theological seminary, Get-tysburg,
Pa.
Fire in Thy Mouth and the Na-ture
and Mission of the Church
are two of six books authored by
Dr. Miller. He has been co-editor
of Interpretation and associate edi-tor
of the Layman's Bible Com-mentary,
and has contributed num-erous
articles and reviews for theo-logical
and religious journals, en-cyclopedias,
and dictionaries.
ley of Chicago, Illinois will be the
guest speaker.
Special music by Roberta Yaxley
and Glenna Gustin and a selected
reading by Anne Embry are also
featured on the program. BWA
officers for 1962-63 will be intro-duced.
The big and little sister pro-gram
is one of the major pro-jects
of BWA. Each summer a
returning Bethel girl writes to
her little sister and attempts to
be helpful to her not only dur-ing
the first few weeks of school,
but all through the year.
President Pat Foty stated that
BWA urges big sisters to keep the
educational purpose by encourag-ing
scholastic excellence, the so-cial
purpose by promoting an in-terest
in all campus social events,
and the religious purpose by ern.

Construction Grants Resurrect
Government Aid Controversy
Dear Editor:
Dean Muck at Freshman retreat
related the position which students
held in the administrative task of
higher education in earlier times.
Students made direct contracts
with instructors, stipulating the
number of class sessions desired
and other matters regulating the
behavior of the professor.
More recently the scene has
shifted until students are tradi-tionally
conceived to have little in-terest
in matters other than social
life or complaints regarding educa-tional
costs and dining hall fare. I
believe that this is an invalid
stereotype of student concern and
an unwarranted dismissal of stu-dent
opinion by administration and
faculty.
To be sure, on every campus
we may find the chronic com-plainer.
However, beneath these
surface complaints we find a
vein of student opinion and ana-lysis
motivated by the larger con-cerns
for total campus develop-ment
and contribution.
A good example of this on our
campus is the traditional dining
hall discussion. Each year beneath
the petty complaints concerning
the inevitable limitations of an
economically planned food service,
there has been a group of students
concerned more about communicat-ing
a basic dining hall policy.
They are more interested in
stressing that economy is only a
valid guiding principle when it
does not jeopardize essential food
quality, than in complaining that
their eggs were not cooked pro-perly
last Thursday.
Student opinion is unfairly dis-missed
if it is thought to be made
up only of petty complaints of
generally dissatisfied students.
Students have let the stereotype
of limited student concern chan-nel
their conception of the stu-dent
voice.
At Bethel, the student body, fac-ulty
and administration have a
common Christian orientation. In
this atmosphere there is a respon-sibility
for each student to be ac-tively
concerned about matters of
more lasting significance for our
campus.
Certainly students should be ac-tively
involved in analysis and sup-port
of such projects as improve-ments
in curriculum, further study
of an honors system and changes
in educational policy.
An awareness and concern for
the over-all program of Bethel col-lege
is a serious responsibility and
privilege for each member of the
campus community.

Dear Editor:
As one among many, I would
like to endorse the cultural-social
event ("Moods") which was pre-sented
during Welcome week. This
type of program represents an ex-cellent
balance of spiritual expres-sion
with cultural appreciation,
and I am grateful for the people
on the senate who exhibit this con-cern
for the expression of the spir-itual
in all areas of campus acti-vity.
I should also like to register my
appreciation for the chapel meet-ing
conducted last Tuesday by Dr.
Mounce. The chapel time should
not be merely a preaching service,
but a meaningful and soul-refresh-ing
confrontation of God in an at-titude
of worship, praise and medi-tation.
Cardinal to all Christian ex-pression
is the realization that in
God's divine economy and our
stewardship, quality takes prece-dence
to quantity.

LIFT's $4 million goal pales
somewhat in the face of Kennedy's
college aid bill passed by Congres-sional
conference committee last
week which would provide two
billion, three hundred million dol-lars
— $900 million in matching
grants and $600 million in low-interest
loans.
Hazy images of "all this and
heaven too" drift through one's
mind when confronted with such
large sums of money, especially
when the money is applicable to
building colleges.
In the final vote, recalcitrant
House members rejected the bill;
nevertheless, the religious issue it
raised must be dealt with by
church-related schools.
This bill provided for construc-tion
grants, available to private
and church-related colleges, stip-ulating
that the outright grants
may be used only for science
by Annette Larson
If the death of Edward Estlin
Cummings on Sept. 3 conjured up
any image in the public mind, it
was probably that of e. e. cum-mings,
a poet whose defiance of
punctuation conventions and whose
"difficult" verse are alike inscrut-ible
and therefore of doubtful
value.
His first novel, The Enormous
Room, is intriguing for somewhat
different reasons. The book was
written in the author's late twen-ties
and gives the reader an im-pression
of unedited spontaneity.
Its complexity and vocabulary level
are inconsistent.
Paragraphs whose grammar is
almost a maze and whose lan-guage
is recklessly abstruse may
accompany or even contain sen-tences
of Heminwayesque crisp-ness
and suggestiveness.
Sections of his novel are almost
unreadable to one unlearned in
French idiom. Yet it is impossible
for the sensitive person to remain
unimpressed with Cummings' re-markable
verbal artistry or unin-volved
with his ability to infuse
vitality into his characters.
To those afflicted with pacifis-tic,
anarchistic or other sorts of
ideological tunnel vision, the novel
is only a satirical condemnation
of war and of government.
The enormous room is a huge
prison cell, lined vertically with
green slime and horizontally
with straw pallets and filth. Its
inhabitants, including American
buildings and libraries, while
loans are for general classrooms.
Specifically omitted from the
"general classroom" category are
chapels, divinity schools and sports
facilities to which admission would
be charged.
A tantalizing prospect in view
of Bethel's expansion plans? Maybe
too tempting for a Baptist school
traditionally committed to the his-toric
Baptist doctrine of separation
of church and state?
Or maybe modern-day interp-retation
of church-state separa-tion
tends to be static and needs
to be less rigid when used as a
principle in pragmatic decisions?
In 1957, Bethel arranged a loan
under the College Housing Loan
program which made $350,000
available for construction of new
wings on the dormitories.
At this time, the board of trus-tees
of the conference reiterated
ambulance - driver Cummings,
were those who had not commit-ted
treason but could not prove
it.
Cummings defines treason as
"any annoying habits of indepen-dent
thought or action which (in
time of war) are put in a hole and
covered over with the somewhat
naive idea that from their cadavers
violets will grow whereof the per-fume
will delight good men and
true and make such worthy citizens
forget their sorrows."
But the novel is more than a
political tract. It occasionally pur-ports
to be a substitute for por-traits
of the prisoners, but one
doubts that any merely visual re-production
could equal the master-ful
verbal sketches which dominate
the book.
The polyglot character of the
group necessitated a heavy re-liance
upon appearance and ac-tion,
symbolized by such names
as "the Orange Cap," "Gari-baldi,"
"John the Bathman" and
"the Bear."
For example, the Schoolmaster
was "a little fragile old man . . .
whose trousers did the most pre-posterous
wrinkles when he walk-ed
. . . his coat had huge shoul-ders
which sprouted like wings on
either side of his elbow . . . he
had three mustaches, two of them
being eyebrows.
". . . a very big pen walked away
with his weak bony hand . . . les-sons
hide in his wrinkles . . . prob-ably
a notorious seditionist . . .
that they were opposed to govern-ment
subsidy to religious institu-tions
but decided that they did not
object to loans for construction of
buildings where the interest rate
was the same as that paid by the
government and provided there
was no compromise of principles.
However, C. Emanuel Carlson,
former dean of the college and
executive director of the Baptist
Joint Committee on Public Af-fairs,
stated, "Loans to dormi-tory
projects on sectarian college
campuses have already blurred
the clear lines of the indepen-dence
of the churches and their
agencies." (Report from the Capi-tal,
Jan.-Feb., 1960.)
While Carlson further explained
that such loans to self-amortizing
business projects did not represent
the same degree of compromise as
outright grants, he later decided
that such loans were subsidies be-cause
of the method of figuring
the interest rate.
The dilemma, now in the early
stages of intellectual questioning
and debate, will become more acute
as the $12 million needed for new
campus construction dwindles with
potential inflation in the economy.
The discussion must consider a
primary fact that church-related
schools must expand to serve their
constituencies adequately and this
expansion is not possible through
reliance upon charitable giving.
Furthermore, it has been fairly
adequately established that con-trols
have not followed govern-ment
loans, and it seems safe to
assume that this is a precedent.
A religious group must adapt its
program to the society in which
it exists in order to fulfill its pri-mary
function of leavening that
society. It would seem a pity to -
stunt growth by rigid adherence
to older interpretations of a dy-namic
principle.
the all-wise French government
has its ways, which, like the ways
of God, are wonderful."
Cummings concentrates on
those men "who have souls." The
choicest of these men are the
"Delectable Mountains;" i.e.,
those from whom prison life had
not eroded the veneer of both
civilization and humanity, leav-ing
only the animal underneath.
He seems to be saying that in
the company of such choice spirits,
war and government are indeed
evil but ultimately irrelevant.
One need not accept Cummings'
torture of the English language nor
his essentially romantic approach
to human personality and relation-ships
to appreciate his rather con-siderable
literary achievements.
As a limited example of the lat-ter,
The Enormous Room at least
bears witness to the wit, creative
powers, ingenuity, sensitivity —
briefly, the imagination — of its
author.

Low Registration Figures
Indicate Area of Interest
Registration statistics released last Thursday by the col-lege
office indicate a 2.5 per cent decrease from the enroll-ment
of last year—a significant figure when the administra-tion
had anticipated a five per cent increase.
Although the junior and senior classes remained com-parable
to those of last year, the expected increase in the
freshman class did not materialize, and there was a large,
apparently unexpected drop-out in the sophomore class.
Perhaps it is not too early to offer some speculative
observations in consideration of this problem. First of all, it
may be that the Bible school image which has been allowed
to permeate the conference might have been detrimental
to the uninitiated student who had been accepted at several
colleges and was seeking a strong liberal arts education.
In addition, some problems might have been created
through the 80:20 ratio for admitting conference and non-conference
students. Perhaps it would be more reasonable
to utilize this only until a certain date, after which appli-cants
are judged solely on their relative capabilities.
And one cannot ignore the inadequate student aid pro-gram
presently in operation, since economic factors play a
determining role in the selection of a college. Scholarship
needs are obvious, but perhaps a prorated tuition based on
traveling distances might be considered for conference stu-dents.
It is also interesting to note that due to the recent cur-riculum
revisions, few of the small lecture groups remain in
the freshman courses. Instead, the new student finds himself
in extremely large classes with comparatively little of the
individual contact with the professor he had expected from a
small college.
Finally, the almost complete lack of any occupational
guidance on the campus might be involved to a considerable
extent. The conflicts the student experiences during his first
years of college adjustment manifest themselves quite often
in vocational indecision, and although faculty members can
help plan academic programs, they cannot be expected to
assume the additional burden of professional guidance.
All of these stand as possibilities worth immediate re-view.
It would be extremely unwise to write this off merely
as an unusual year as the school cannot afford to ignore the
basic causes creating this problem.

Impress Freshman Class
by Karen Nelson
Welcome week has come and
gone. The freshmen are orientated
and the wheels of campus organi-zation
and activity have resumed
the pace. Reactions to this tradi-tional
experience of "welcome" are
as varied as the individuals in the
freshman class, but they indicate
at least that the freshmen have
become a part of campus life.
"I heard that
the Dean was a
pompous digni-tary,
but I dis-covered
that he
. was quite the
fatherly type,"
was the corn-nent
of Philip
' Lmaarsno nfr, oa mfre Ssht-.
Paul. He felt
that the "Moods" presentation on
Friday night was the best program
of the week. About Freshman Re-treat,
"What can you say, except
that it rained? . . . oh yes, there
was a girl . . ."
In a more serious vein, Phil
said that he was impressed with
the senate personalities who were
in charge of Welcome week and
also with the consistent spiritual
emphasis which was maintained.
His only disappointment seemed
to be that there was not enough
ridiculous ceremony to make the
freshmen feel the humility of their
position.
Judy Anderson, whose home is
Bremerton, Washington, thought,
as did most freshmen, that the re-treat
was the highlight of the
week. She said, "Upperclassmen,
though they had their fun, were
really friendly, and made us feel
welcome.
"The committee did a very
good job. There was a good in-troduction
to the various facets
of campus life. For example,
the 'buzz sessions' at retreat
were a helpful introduction to
the social life."
Judy added that she found Bethel
was what she had expected it to
be and that she thought the cam-pus
was impressive.
Steven Starr
from El Cajon,
California, said
that in transfer-ring
from a secu-lar
atmosphere
he discovered
that "classes
opening with
prayer, a Biology
class based on r
Matthew 6:26-29
and the simplicity and nearness of
Christ in the seminary prayer
room have impressed me."
Steve also welcomed "the
warmth of Christian fellowship
and the personal relationships
with God shared by students
and faculty."
Nancy Dean of
St. Paul was al-so
impressed by
the spiritual in-fluence
of the
faculty: "I liked
the banquet. It
was so different
to realize that
the faculty was
as concerned a-bout
our spirit-ual
development as much as our
academic."
One problem that Nancy thought
many freshmen encountered was
that there were many details as
to meal schedules, registration and
class schedules that "we were just
expected to know.
"The atmosphere here is very
different from public school. It's
good to meet dedicated Chris-tians
your age, with common aca-demic
interests. I already feel
that some of the people I have
met are going to be life-time
friends."
A significant
impression for
Jerry Norlander
of Rochester.
Minn., was the
fellowship to be
found here at
Bethel, particu-larly
in the cha-pel
services and
in the dorm. He
also approved of
the "Christian atmosphere in the
classrooms and the friendliness
and acceptance of the freshmen by
the upper classmen."
No doubt all of the freshmen
would agree that though Bethel
does not meet their ideals per-fectly,
in a sense it does, for Bethel
is to each individual what he puts
into his experience here.
SPIRE SETS PHOTOS
SPIRE pictures of faculty,
staff and upperclassmen will be
taken Wednesday, Sept. 26, and
Thursday, Sept. 27. Freshmen
who were unable to keep their
previous appointment should
also report at this time.
Proper dress will be dark
sweaters for girls and suits and
ties for fellows. Students will be
notified of their appointment
time.
Those who purchased but did
not receive last year's annual

office.
Coffee Hours
At Peterson's
Feature Talk
by Dave Johnson
"Friday at four" means politics
with Peterson.
Dr. Walfred Peterson has open-ed
his home to all interested stu-dents
for coffee and discussion
sessions at 4 each Friday afternoon.
Denying that politics would be
the only subject of discussion,
Dr. Peterson contended that any
subject that could match politics
in general interest would be
given due consideration.
Students of all departments are
included in the invitation, the only
standard of attendance being tho
absolute capacity of the Peterson

include guests (local political fig-ures,

Believing that "serious discus-sion
around intellectual problems
is the most enjoyable sort of so-cial
encounter," Dr. Peterson ad-mitted
purely hedonistic motives
and is looking forward to "having
a good time talking about inter-esting
subjects."

"We have different needs than
the college, different characteris-tics
than the college as a whole,"
says seminary senate president Ted
Peterson, explaining part of the
reason why an organic separation
of student organizations has be-come
necessary.
Two representatives from each
seminary class, four officers and
advisor Dean Clifford Anderson
comprise the seminary equivalent
of the student senate. The college
senate annually appoints the spir-itual
life and community life coun-cils.
The community life council
handles the seminary intramural
program, while the spiritual life
council assumes major responsi-bility
for the non-academic spirit-ual
life of the seminarians.
Seminary senate president
Peterson, a senior from Seattle,
Wash., received his bachelor of
science degree from the Univer-sity
of Washington. Vice-presi-dent
is Howard Rekstad, also a
senior, from Hastings, Minn. Rek-stad
earned his bachelor of arts
degree at Bethel college.
Middleman Duwayne Lee serves
as secretary. Lee received his
bachelor of arts degree from North-western
college in his home town
of Minneapolis, Minn. Treasurer is
Bethel graduate Lowell Gardner.,
a senior from Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
Senior class representatives are
Bud Malmsten and Dave Phillips.
Doug Culver and Paul Evan repre-sent
the middlemen, while Lee
Eliason and Ralph Nordquist are
junior representatives.
Malmsten also directs the sem-inary
book plan, a senate-spon-the
CLARION Page 3
sored program to aid the student
in building a permanent library
by operating as a cooperative to
buy books wholesale.
Although the senate has not for-malized
its organization in a con-stitution,
its stated purpose is to
communicate from the student to
the administration, to the college
and to other seminaries.
President Peterson emphasized
that while the seminary retains its
contact with the college, the sen-ate
hopes to increase the fellow-ship
of the seminary students and
to strengthen their unity as semin-arians
in a oneness with Christ.
Bethel Explores
Studies Abroad
Studies abroad for Bethel stu-dents
may be possible in the fu-ture
under the "semester abroad
program" presently being explored
by the Bethel staff.
At present Bethel students wish-ing
to study abroad may do so
through the SPAN program, regu-lar
enrollment in a foreign uni-versity,
or enrollment in another
American university's program for
study abroad.
Mr. Charles Ferguson, director
of development, through the means
of a special grant, spent part of
the past summer in Switzerland
investigating possible sites for a
program for Bethel.
Dean Larson is presently involv-ed
in reviewing the programs of
other schools. The faculty is ex
amining each plan to determine
the most desirable synthesis.

Bethel's cross country team had
its first real test Friday afternoon
against River Falls. The outcome,
a 23-32 defeat, indicated the Roy-als'
need for strong second and
third place runners.
Fred Purcell stretched a quick
start into a 1:37 margin at the fin-ish
line, but the visitors swept
second through fifth places. Bill
Carlson, Dave Grant and Mitch
Clark followed for Bethel, and
Dave Sorley was the school's re-maining
point scorer.
For the first three laps, Carl-son
held the second place posi-tion,
but he was edged out by
four opponents in the final lap
of the three and one half mile
course.
Purcell's winning time was 19:08.
Carlson finished sixth with 21:23,
Grant seventh with 21:33, Clark
eighth with 22:18 and Sorley tenth
with 22:19.
Saturday morning at 11 in Como
park the Royal harriers will face
Gustavus Adolphus. Coach Glader
will be looking to Carlson, Clark,
Grant and Paul Wedeking to pro-vide
the necessary second and third
place finishes.
The Bethel squad won its
opener on Sept. 15, although this
meet was little more than a good
practice, as only one of the three
invited schools participated. That
team, Pillsbury, took both sec-ond
and third places.
To the uninitiated, scoring in
cross country is its most confus-ing
aspect. The important thing
to be kept in mind is that the
lowest score wins. Points are a-warded
the first five men finish-ing
from each team, a man's points
being determined by the place he Bethel will be counting on their
finishes in the race. Each team's balanced attack, which has the
points are then totaled and the power for the long drives but also
winner decided. the speed to break a game open.
Second Half Comeback Fails;
Mayville Scores 16.13 Victory
and a safety seemed to put the
home team out of reach.
Coming into the second half
with a sixteen point deficit, Bethel
staged a dramatic comeback. Re-ceiving
the opening kickoff, the
gold-clad visitors charged down to
their own 45 yard line, where Bob
Larson threw a 55-yard scoring
strike to frosh end Gene Gibson.
After an exchange of punts, the
Royals again got the ball and took
control. After marching deep into
Mayville territory, the Bethel
cause was all but stifled by a third-down
penalty.
With third down and twenty
yards to go, Larson again called
the right play and sent Gibson
into the end zone on a 39-yard
screen pass. A fourth quarter
fumble doused Bethel's last
drive.
Said Halleen, "I was proud the
second half. It was the best-looking
ball club we've ever had."
Sidelines I
by Bob Beckstrom
The home games during Bethel's 1962 football season will feature
a number of important innovations. The most obvious and significant
of these changes is the move to Midway stadium. Every time I pass the
stadium I feel somewhat leery about the possibility of Bethel's rooters
making a dent in its seating capacity (merely 10,000). However, there
is little doubt that it is a 100% improvement over the facilities available
to Bethel last year.
Scheduling of home games in several different stadiums last season
was a factor which influenced the change. Such an inconvenience ob
viously made it difficult for fans to follow the team, obscuring the
meaning of the term "home game." The use of Midway stadium this
season will insure Bethel of a uniform home field, leaving no doubt
in anyone's mind as to where the games will be played.
Another and more important reason for the change to Midway
stadium this season was the poor condition of Hamline's Norton
field (where most of last year's home games were played) and the
lack of adequate facilities for the fans. Both of these problems will
be more than adequately solved by the change to the new stadium.
Those who dread to think what the Bethel rooting section will
look like in front of a backdrop of myriads of empty seats will be glad
to hear that the home fans will not even be using the permanent seats.
Instead, a temporary section of bleachers will be erected adjacent to
the playing field, providing a better view of the game. This section
will be reserved for Bethel rooters only. Since it will be close to the
field the psychological effect of an empty stadium upon the players
will be negligible.
Midway stadium is the property of the city of St. Paul and
is being rented to Bethel at a standard high school rate. Therefore
last year's admission charge of $1 will remain the same for adults
without student activity cards. The concessions will be operated by
stadium personnel and are conveniently located for the fans. Park-ing
space, last year's headache, is no longer a problem. For those
who will not be driving to the games, bus service will be offered.
Another innovation in home games will be the presence of a pep
club. This racket squad is being sponsored by the athletic council and
will feature twelve men in uniform dress who are supposed to make
uniform noise. Eventually membership in the group will be increased
to thirty, and any Bethel man will be eligible for one of the eighteen
open positions.
It is gratifying to know that there are students on campus who
are interested in their athletic teams, as is manifested by the organi-zation
of the racket squad. Its influence will certainly be felt on
the playing field, and I trust in the stands. Support at the football
games involves both attendance and participation in the yells.
One more favorable change in the home games is the schedule.
Such schools as Northland, Lakeland, Valley City, and Wahpeton offer
Bethel keen competition. The games promise to be exciting and the
rivalry sharp. You don't want to miss these games.

Royal Gridders Face Lakeland
In Home Opener This Saturday
by Bob Beckstrom
The Bethel football team will
have their hands full in the home
opener against Lakeland this Sat-urday,
Sept. 29. The contest pro-mises
to be a rugged, spirited and
exciting match.
Lakeland enters the rivalry on
the momentum of four wins out
of five games played against
Bethel. Last year was the largest
margin of victory for the Muskies.
Also notched into Lakeland's han-dle
are two Badger-Gopher Con-ference
titles.
But this is a different year,
and Bethel knows it. The Royals
are definitely up for this game.
The season opener against Sioux
Falls was a moral victory.
The defeat at Mayville was a
blow, but not a demoralizing de-feat.
The men, after surging back
in the second half to score two
touchdowns, have the confidence
that they can win.
Coach Owen Halleen regards
Lakeland as one of Bethel's three
toughest opponents this year.
Northland and Mayville are the
other two. No player on Bethel's
squad feels Mayville won their
game because they were the better
team, and the men know they can
beat Lakeland if they can get go-ing
the first half.
To beat Lakeland Bethel will
have to stop two of the finest
fullbacks they will be facing this
year. Lakeland adds to this dou-ble
threat of Marty Jurgensen
and Charley Morrissey a strong
line and a quarterback who can
throw.
The story of Bethel's one-and-one
record this season is best sum-med
up by coach Owen Halleen,
"We're a second half ball club."
In the 28-13 victory over Sioux
Falls and the 16-13 loss to May-ville
Bethel scored a total of seven
points in the first half and 34 in
the second.
In the Mayville game the Roy-als
could get nothing going in
the first half. It looked like an-other
routine victory for the
Comets, who are quite accustom-ed
to them after only one loss
in three years. Two touchdowns

Freshman Politicians
Plan Elections, Rally
Senate Deals
With Budget,
Social Issues
"Student senate retreat Satur
day, Sept. 22, served to combine
the uninspiring matters of regular
senate work with the tasks of or-ientation
for the new senate," stat-ed
senate president Jim Spickle-mier.
The retreat, held at Bethany Bap-tist
church in St. Paul, consisted
of a morning business session and
two afternoon lectures dealing with
student government.
Budget and election procedures
provoked discussion at the morn-ing
business session. Last year's
budget of $7,380.88 was compar-ed
with the proposed 1962 bud-get
of $7,500.00 and new expendi-tures
were added.
Student senate makes financial
provision for the academic, athle-tic,
cultural, religious and social
standing committees, in addition
to the cost of the senate itself and
special committee expenditures
such as homecoming.
The senate also felt it necessary
to establish an election procedure
and authoritative administration of
this procedure before freshmen
elections.
Orientation to parliamentary
procedure and review of the new
senate constitution by Dean
Dahlquist concluded the morning
sessions.

the first afternoon lecture present-ed
by Dr. I. Fahs, assistant profes-sor
of sociology.
Dr. Fahs first dealt with the role
of the alleged "rebel," the person
who is more concerned with per-sonal
attention than telling the
truth, who is often present in stu-dent
governments. Secondly he
spoke concerning the extent that
Christian faith deals with social
values.
A discussion of student govern-ment
leadership on the campus by
Dr. Roy Dalton, professor of his-tory,
closed the afternoon session.
LIBRARY EXHIBITS GIFT
A grant of 21 books for the
mental health reference library
is on display in Bethel's library.
This book grant is the second
received by Bethel from the di-vision

smile are of primary importance,"
says sophomore Pat Anderson con-cerning
this year's cheerleading
try-outs.
Final judging to select those
girls who will complete the "62-63"
squad will take place tomorrow.
Various members of the faculty
and athletic council will be pre-sent.
A cheerleading workshop was
held during the Freshman retreat
at Trout Lake camp. The purpose
of this afternoon session was to
briefly acquaint interested girls
with procedure and various cheers.

Fall Lectures
Dr. Donald G. Miller, president
of Pittsburgh Theological seminary,
will discuss the "Ministry of Re-conciliation"
as guest speaker for
the annual fall seminary lecture-ship
October 2-5 at 10 a.m. in the
college auditorium.
"Biblical Theological Preach-ing,"
"Preaching and the Gospel,"
"Preaching and the Law," and
"Preaching and Doctrine" are the
topics of daily discussions by Dr.
Miller.
Dr. Miller holds his masters
degree from the Biblical semin-ary
of New York and his doc-toral
degree from New York
university. He did post doctoral
work in Montpellier, France, and
in Basle, Switzerland.
Since 1944 Dr. Miller served as
professor of New Testament at
Union Theological seminary, Rich-mond,
Va. Previous to this exper-ience
he taught in the Pyengyang
Foreign school in Korea, Biblical
seminary of New York, and Lu-theran
Theological seminary, Get-tysburg,
Pa.
Fire in Thy Mouth and the Na-ture
and Mission of the Church
are two of six books authored by
Dr. Miller. He has been co-editor
of Interpretation and associate edi-tor
of the Layman's Bible Com-mentary,
and has contributed num-erous
articles and reviews for theo-logical
and religious journals, en-cyclopedias,
and dictionaries.
ley of Chicago, Illinois will be the
guest speaker.
Special music by Roberta Yaxley
and Glenna Gustin and a selected
reading by Anne Embry are also
featured on the program. BWA
officers for 1962-63 will be intro-duced.
The big and little sister pro-gram
is one of the major pro-jects
of BWA. Each summer a
returning Bethel girl writes to
her little sister and attempts to
be helpful to her not only dur-ing
the first few weeks of school,
but all through the year.

Construction Grants Resurrect
Government Aid Controversy
Dear Editor:
Dean Muck at Freshman retreat
related the position which students
held in the administrative task of
higher education in earlier times.
Students made direct contracts
with instructors, stipulating the
number of class sessions desired
and other matters regulating the
behavior of the professor.
More recently the scene has
shifted until students are tradi-tionally
conceived to have little in-terest
in matters other than social
life or complaints regarding educa-tional
costs and dining hall fare. I
believe that this is an invalid
stereotype of student concern and
an unwarranted dismissal of stu-dent
opinion by administration and
faculty.
To be sure, on every campus
we may find the chronic com-plainer.
However, beneath these
surface complaints we find a
vein of student opinion and ana-lysis
motivated by the larger con-cerns
for total campus develop-ment
and contribution.
A good example of this on our
campus is the traditional dining
hall discussion. Each year beneath
the petty complaints concerning
the inevitable limitations of an
economically planned food service,
there has been a group of students
concerned more about communicat-ing
a basic dining hall policy.
They are more interested in
stressing that economy is only a
valid guiding principle when it
does not jeopardize essential food
quality, than in complaining that
their eggs were not cooked pro-perly
last Thursday.
Student opinion is unfairly dis-missed
if it is thought to be made
up only of petty complaints of
generally dissatisfied students.
Students have let the stereotype
of limited student concern chan-nel
their conception of the stu-dent
voice.
At Bethel, the student body, fac-ulty
and administration have a
common Christian orientation. In
this atmosphere there is a respon-sibility
for each student to be ac-tively
concerned about matters of
more lasting significance for our
campus.
Certainly students should be ac-tively
involved in analysis and sup-port
of such projects as improve-ments
in curriculum, further study
of an honors system and changes
in educational policy.
An awareness and concern for
the over-all program of Bethel col-lege
is a serious responsibility and
privilege for each member of the
campus community.

Dear Editor:
As one among many, I would
like to endorse the cultural-social
event ("Moods") which was pre-sented
during Welcome week. This
type of program represents an ex-cellent
balance of spiritual expres-sion
with cultural appreciation,
and I am grateful for the people
on the senate who exhibit this con-cern
for the expression of the spir-itual
in all areas of campus acti-vity.
I should also like to register my
appreciation for the chapel meet-ing
conducted last Tuesday by Dr.
Mounce. The chapel time should
not be merely a preaching service,
but a meaningful and soul-refresh-ing
confrontation of God in an at-titude
of worship, praise and medi-tation.
Cardinal to all Christian ex-pression
is the realization that in
God's divine economy and our
stewardship, quality takes prece-dence
to quantity.

LIFT's $4 million goal pales
somewhat in the face of Kennedy's
college aid bill passed by Congres-sional
conference committee last
week which would provide two
billion, three hundred million dol-lars
— $900 million in matching
grants and $600 million in low-interest
loans.
Hazy images of "all this and
heaven too" drift through one's
mind when confronted with such
large sums of money, especially
when the money is applicable to
building colleges.
In the final vote, recalcitrant
House members rejected the bill;
nevertheless, the religious issue it
raised must be dealt with by
church-related schools.
This bill provided for construc-tion

and church-related colleges, stip-ulating
that the outright grants

If the death of Edward Estlin
Cummings on Sept. 3 conjured up
any image in the public mind, it
was probably that of e. e. cum-mings,
a poet whose defiance of
punctuation conventions and whose
"difficult" verse are alike inscrut-ible
and therefore of doubtful
value.
His first novel, The Enormous
Room, is intriguing for somewhat
different reasons. The book was
written in the author's late twen-ties
and gives the reader an im-pression
of unedited spontaneity.
Its complexity and vocabulary level
are inconsistent.
Paragraphs whose grammar is
almost a maze and whose lan-guage
is recklessly abstruse may
accompany or even contain sen-tences
of Heminwayesque crisp-ness
and suggestiveness.
Sections of his novel are almost
unreadable to one unlearned in
French idiom. Yet it is impossible
for the sensitive person to remain
unimpressed with Cummings' re-markable
verbal artistry or unin-volved
with his ability to infuse
vitality into his characters.
To those afflicted with pacifis-tic,
anarchistic or other sorts of
ideological tunnel vision, the novel
is only a satirical condemnation
of war and of government.
The enormous room is a huge
prison cell, lined vertically with
green slime and horizontally
with straw pallets and filth. Its
inhabitants, including American
buildings and libraries, while
loans are for general classrooms.
Specifically omitted from the
"general classroom" category are
chapels, divinity schools and sports
facilities to which admission would
be charged.
A tantalizing prospect in view
of Bethel's expansion plans? Maybe
too tempting for a Baptist school
traditionally committed to the his-toric
Baptist doctrine of separation
of church and state?
Or maybe modern-day interp-retation
of church-state separa-tion
tends to be static and needs
to be less rigid when used as a
principle in pragmatic decisions?
In 1957, Bethel arranged a loan
under the College Housing Loan
program which made $350,000
available for construction of new
wings on the dormitories.
At this time, the board of trus-tees
of the conference reiterated
ambulance - driver Cummings,
were those who had not commit-ted
treason but could not prove
it.
Cummings defines treason as
"any annoying habits of indepen-dent
thought or action which (in
time of war) are put in a hole and
covered over with the somewhat
naive idea that from their cadavers
violets will grow whereof the per-fume
will delight good men and
true and make such worthy citizens
forget their sorrows."
But the novel is more than a
political tract. It occasionally pur-ports
to be a substitute for por-traits
of the prisoners, but one
doubts that any merely visual re-production
could equal the master-ful
verbal sketches which dominate
the book.
The polyglot character of the
group necessitated a heavy re-liance
upon appearance and ac-tion,
symbolized by such names
as "the Orange Cap," "Gari-baldi,"
"John the Bathman" and
"the Bear."
For example, the Schoolmaster
was "a little fragile old man . . .
whose trousers did the most pre-posterous
wrinkles when he walk-ed
. . . his coat had huge shoul-ders
which sprouted like wings on
either side of his elbow . . . he
had three mustaches, two of them
being eyebrows.
". . . a very big pen walked away
with his weak bony hand . . . les-sons
hide in his wrinkles . . . prob-ably
a notorious seditionist . . .
that they were opposed to govern-ment
subsidy to religious institu-tions
but decided that they did not
object to loans for construction of
buildings where the interest rate
was the same as that paid by the
government and provided there
was no compromise of principles.
However, C. Emanuel Carlson,
former dean of the college and
executive director of the Baptist
Joint Committee on Public Af-fairs,
stated, "Loans to dormi-tory
projects on sectarian college
campuses have already blurred
the clear lines of the indepen-dence
of the churches and their
agencies." (Report from the Capi-tal,
Jan.-Feb., 1960.)
While Carlson further explained
that such loans to self-amortizing
business projects did not represent
the same degree of compromise as
outright grants, he later decided
that such loans were subsidies be-cause
of the method of figuring
the interest rate.
The dilemma, now in the early
stages of intellectual questioning
and debate, will become more acute
as the $12 million needed for new
campus construction dwindles with
potential inflation in the economy.
The discussion must consider a
primary fact that church-related
schools must expand to serve their
constituencies adequately and this
expansion is not possible through
reliance upon charitable giving.
Furthermore, it has been fairly
adequately established that con-trols
have not followed govern-ment
loans, and it seems safe to
assume that this is a precedent.
A religious group must adapt its
program to the society in which
it exists in order to fulfill its pri-mary
function of leavening that
society. It would seem a pity to -
stunt growth by rigid adherence
to older interpretations of a dy-namic
principle.
the all-wise French government
has its ways, which, like the ways
of God, are wonderful."
Cummings concentrates on
those men "who have souls." The
choicest of these men are the
"Delectable Mountains;" i.e.,
those from whom prison life had
not eroded the veneer of both
civilization and humanity, leav-ing
only the animal underneath.
He seems to be saying that in
the company of such choice spirits,
war and government are indeed
evil but ultimately irrelevant.
One need not accept Cummings'
torture of the English language nor
his essentially romantic approach
to human personality and relation-ships
to appreciate his rather con-siderable
literary achievements.
As a limited example of the lat-ter,
The Enormous Room at least
bears witness to the wit, creative
powers, ingenuity, sensitivity —
briefly, the imagination — of its
author.

Low Registration Figures
Indicate Area of Interest
Registration statistics released last Thursday by the col-lege
office indicate a 2.5 per cent decrease from the enroll-ment
of last year—a significant figure when the administra-tion
had anticipated a five per cent increase.
Although the junior and senior classes remained com-parable
to those of last year, the expected increase in the
freshman class did not materialize, and there was a large,
apparently unexpected drop-out in the sophomore class.
Perhaps it is not too early to offer some speculative
observations in consideration of this problem. First of all, it
may be that the Bible school image which has been allowed
to permeate the conference might have been detrimental
to the uninitiated student who had been accepted at several
colleges and was seeking a strong liberal arts education.
In addition, some problems might have been created
through the 80:20 ratio for admitting conference and non-conference
students. Perhaps it would be more reasonable
to utilize this only until a certain date, after which appli-cants
are judged solely on their relative capabilities.
And one cannot ignore the inadequate student aid pro-gram
presently in operation, since economic factors play a
determining role in the selection of a college. Scholarship
needs are obvious, but perhaps a prorated tuition based on
traveling distances might be considered for conference stu-dents.
It is also interesting to note that due to the recent cur-riculum
revisions, few of the small lecture groups remain in
the freshman courses. Instead, the new student finds himself
in extremely large classes with comparatively little of the
individual contact with the professor he had expected from a
small college.
Finally, the almost complete lack of any occupational
guidance on the campus might be involved to a considerable
extent. The conflicts the student experiences during his first
years of college adjustment manifest themselves quite often
in vocational indecision, and although faculty members can
help plan academic programs, they cannot be expected to
assume the additional burden of professional guidance.
All of these stand as possibilities worth immediate re-view.
It would be extremely unwise to write this off merely
as an unusual year as the school cannot afford to ignore the
basic causes creating this problem.

Impress Freshman Class
by Karen Nelson
Welcome week has come and
gone. The freshmen are orientated
and the wheels of campus organi-zation
and activity have resumed
the pace. Reactions to this tradi-tional
experience of "welcome" are
as varied as the individuals in the
freshman class, but they indicate
at least that the freshmen have
become a part of campus life.
"I heard that
the Dean was a
pompous digni-tary,
but I dis-covered
that he
. was quite the
fatherly type,"
was the corn-nent
of Philip
' Lmaarsno nfr, oa mfre Ssht-.
Paul. He felt
that the "Moods" presentation on
Friday night was the best program
of the week. About Freshman Re-treat,
"What can you say, except
that it rained? . . . oh yes, there
was a girl . . ."
In a more serious vein, Phil
said that he was impressed with
the senate personalities who were
in charge of Welcome week and
also with the consistent spiritual
emphasis which was maintained.
His only disappointment seemed
to be that there was not enough
ridiculous ceremony to make the
freshmen feel the humility of their
position.
Judy Anderson, whose home is
Bremerton, Washington, thought,
as did most freshmen, that the re-treat
was the highlight of the
week. She said, "Upperclassmen,
though they had their fun, were
really friendly, and made us feel
welcome.
"The committee did a very
good job. There was a good in-troduction
to the various facets
of campus life. For example,
the 'buzz sessions' at retreat
were a helpful introduction to
the social life."
Judy added that she found Bethel
was what she had expected it to
be and that she thought the cam-pus
was impressive.
Steven Starr
from El Cajon,
California, said
that in transfer-ring
from a secu-lar
atmosphere
he discovered
that "classes
opening with
prayer, a Biology
class based on r
Matthew 6:26-29
and the simplicity and nearness of
Christ in the seminary prayer
room have impressed me."
Steve also welcomed "the
warmth of Christian fellowship
and the personal relationships
with God shared by students
and faculty."
Nancy Dean of
St. Paul was al-so
impressed by
the spiritual in-fluence
of the
faculty: "I liked
the banquet. It
was so different
to realize that
the faculty was
as concerned a-bout
our spirit-ual
development as much as our
academic."
One problem that Nancy thought
many freshmen encountered was
that there were many details as
to meal schedules, registration and
class schedules that "we were just
expected to know.
"The atmosphere here is very
different from public school. It's
good to meet dedicated Chris-tians
your age, with common aca-demic
interests. I already feel
that some of the people I have
met are going to be life-time
friends."
A significant
impression for
Jerry Norlander
of Rochester.
Minn., was the
fellowship to be
found here at
Bethel, particu-larly
in the cha-pel
services and
in the dorm. He
also approved of
the "Christian atmosphere in the
classrooms and the friendliness
and acceptance of the freshmen by
the upper classmen."
No doubt all of the freshmen
would agree that though Bethel
does not meet their ideals per-fectly,
in a sense it does, for Bethel
is to each individual what he puts
into his experience here.
SPIRE SETS PHOTOS
SPIRE pictures of faculty,
staff and upperclassmen will be
taken Wednesday, Sept. 26, and
Thursday, Sept. 27. Freshmen
who were unable to keep their
previous appointment should
also report at this time.
Proper dress will be dark
sweaters for girls and suits and
ties for fellows. Students will be
notified of their appointment
time.
Those who purchased but did
not receive last year's annual
may pick them up in the SPIRE
office.
Coffee Hours
At Peterson's
Feature Talk
by Dave Johnson
"Friday at four" means politics
with Peterson.
Dr. Walfred Peterson has open-ed
his home to all interested stu-dents
for coffee and discussion
sessions at 4 each Friday afternoon.
Denying that politics would be
the only subject of discussion,
Dr. Peterson contended that any
subject that could match politics
in general interest would be
given due consideration.
Students of all departments are
included in the invitation, the only
standard of attendance being tho
absolute capacity of the Peterson
living room. Coffee hour highlights
include guests (local political fig-ures,
world travelers, etc.) and re-freshments.
Believing that "serious discus-sion
around intellectual problems
is the most enjoyable sort of so-cial
encounter," Dr. Peterson ad-mitted
purely hedonistic motives
and is looking forward to "having
a good time talking about inter-esting
subjects."
Budding political scientisfs,
critics, enthusiasts and campus
leaders should be watching the
social science bulletin board (a-cross
from the post office boxes)
for announcement of the next
session.
The group will convene at least
twice each month, featuring a free,
informal, informative, excellent-way
- to - invest - an - otherwise -

"We have different needs than
the college, different characteris-tics
than the college as a whole,"
says seminary senate president Ted
Peterson, explaining part of the
reason why an organic separation
of student organizations has be-come
necessary.
Two representatives from each
seminary class, four officers and
advisor Dean Clifford Anderson
comprise the seminary equivalent
of the student senate. The college
senate annually appoints the spir-itual
life and community life coun-cils.
The community life council
handles the seminary intramural
program, while the spiritual life
council assumes major responsi-bility
for the non-academic spirit-ual
life of the seminarians.
Seminary senate president
Peterson, a senior from Seattle,
Wash., received his bachelor of
science degree from the Univer-sity
of Washington. Vice-presi-dent
is Howard Rekstad, also a
senior, from Hastings, Minn. Rek-stad
earned his bachelor of arts
degree at Bethel college.
Middleman Duwayne Lee serves
as secretary. Lee received his
bachelor of arts degree from North-western
college in his home town
of Minneapolis, Minn. Treasurer is
Bethel graduate Lowell Gardner.,
a senior from Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
Senior class representatives are
Bud Malmsten and Dave Phillips.
Doug Culver and Paul Evan repre-sent
the middlemen, while Lee
Eliason and Ralph Nordquist are
junior representatives.
Malmsten also directs the sem-inary
book plan, a senate-spon-the
CLARION Page 3
sored program to aid the student
in building a permanent library
by operating as a cooperative to
buy books wholesale.
Although the senate has not for-malized
its organization in a con-stitution,
its stated purpose is to
communicate from the student to
the administration, to the college
and to other seminaries.
President Peterson emphasized
that while the seminary retains its
contact with the college, the sen-ate
hopes to increase the fellow-ship
of the seminary students and
to strengthen their unity as semin-arians
in a oneness with Christ.
Bethel Explores
Studies Abroad
Studies abroad for Bethel stu-dents
may be possible in the fu-ture
under the "semester abroad
program" presently being explored
by the Bethel staff.
At present Bethel students wish-ing
to study abroad may do so
through the SPAN program, regu-lar
enrollment in a foreign uni-versity,
or enrollment in another
American university's program for
study abroad.
Mr. Charles Ferguson, director
of development, through the means
of a special grant, spent part of
the past summer in Switzerland
investigating possible sites for a
program for Bethel.
Dean Larson is presently involv-ed
in reviewing the programs of
other schools. The faculty is ex
amining each plan to determine
the most desirable synthesis.

Bethel's cross country team had
its first real test Friday afternoon
against River Falls. The outcome,
a 23-32 defeat, indicated the Roy-als'
need for strong second and
third place runners.
Fred Purcell stretched a quick
start into a 1:37 margin at the fin-ish
line, but the visitors swept
second through fifth places. Bill
Carlson, Dave Grant and Mitch
Clark followed for Bethel, and
Dave Sorley was the school's re-maining
point scorer.
For the first three laps, Carl-son
held the second place posi-tion,
but he was edged out by
four opponents in the final lap
of the three and one half mile
course.
Purcell's winning time was 19:08.
Carlson finished sixth with 21:23,
Grant seventh with 21:33, Clark
eighth with 22:18 and Sorley tenth
with 22:19.
Saturday morning at 11 in Como
park the Royal harriers will face
Gustavus Adolphus. Coach Glader
will be looking to Carlson, Clark,
Grant and Paul Wedeking to pro-vide
the necessary second and third
place finishes.
The Bethel squad won its
opener on Sept. 15, although this
meet was little more than a good
practice, as only one of the three
invited schools participated. That
team, Pillsbury, took both sec-ond
and third places.
To the uninitiated, scoring in
cross country is its most confus-ing
aspect. The important thing
to be kept in mind is that the
lowest score wins. Points are a-warded
the first five men finish-ing
from each team, a man's points
being determined by the place he Bethel will be counting on their
finishes in the race. Each team's balanced attack, which has the
points are then totaled and the power for the long drives but also
winner decided. the speed to break a game open.
Second Half Comeback Fails;
Mayville Scores 16.13 Victory
and a safety seemed to put the
home team out of reach.
Coming into the second half
with a sixteen point deficit, Bethel
staged a dramatic comeback. Re-ceiving
the opening kickoff, the
gold-clad visitors charged down to
their own 45 yard line, where Bob
Larson threw a 55-yard scoring
strike to frosh end Gene Gibson.
After an exchange of punts, the
Royals again got the ball and took
control. After marching deep into
Mayville territory, the Bethel
cause was all but stifled by a third-down
penalty.
With third down and twenty
yards to go, Larson again called
the right play and sent Gibson
into the end zone on a 39-yard
screen pass. A fourth quarter
fumble doused Bethel's last
drive.
Said Halleen, "I was proud the
second half. It was the best-looking
ball club we've ever had."
Sidelines I
by Bob Beckstrom
The home games during Bethel's 1962 football season will feature
a number of important innovations. The most obvious and significant
of these changes is the move to Midway stadium. Every time I pass the
stadium I feel somewhat leery about the possibility of Bethel's rooters
making a dent in its seating capacity (merely 10,000). However, there
is little doubt that it is a 100% improvement over the facilities available
to Bethel last year.
Scheduling of home games in several different stadiums last season
was a factor which influenced the change. Such an inconvenience ob
viously made it difficult for fans to follow the team, obscuring the
meaning of the term "home game." The use of Midway stadium this
season will insure Bethel of a uniform home field, leaving no doubt
in anyone's mind as to where the games will be played.
Another and more important reason for the change to Midway
stadium this season was the poor condition of Hamline's Norton
field (where most of last year's home games were played) and the
lack of adequate facilities for the fans. Both of these problems will
be more than adequately solved by the change to the new stadium.
Those who dread to think what the Bethel rooting section will
look like in front of a backdrop of myriads of empty seats will be glad
to hear that the home fans will not even be using the permanent seats.
Instead, a temporary section of bleachers will be erected adjacent to
the playing field, providing a better view of the game. This section
will be reserved for Bethel rooters only. Since it will be close to the
field the psychological effect of an empty stadium upon the players
will be negligible.
Midway stadium is the property of the city of St. Paul and
is being rented to Bethel at a standard high school rate. Therefore
last year's admission charge of $1 will remain the same for adults
without student activity cards. The concessions will be operated by
stadium personnel and are conveniently located for the fans. Park-ing
space, last year's headache, is no longer a problem. For those
who will not be driving to the games, bus service will be offered.
Another innovation in home games will be the presence of a pep
club. This racket squad is being sponsored by the athletic council and
will feature twelve men in uniform dress who are supposed to make
uniform noise. Eventually membership in the group will be increased
to thirty, and any Bethel man will be eligible for one of the eighteen
open positions.
It is gratifying to know that there are students on campus who
are interested in their athletic teams, as is manifested by the organi-zation
of the racket squad. Its influence will certainly be felt on
the playing field, and I trust in the stands. Support at the football
games involves both attendance and participation in the yells.
One more favorable change in the home games is the schedule.
Such schools as Northland, Lakeland, Valley City, and Wahpeton offer
Bethel keen competition. The games promise to be exciting and the
rivalry sharp. You don't want to miss these games.

Royal Gridders Face Lakeland
In Home Opener This Saturday
by Bob Beckstrom
The Bethel football team will
have their hands full in the home
opener against Lakeland this Sat-urday,
Sept. 29. The contest pro-mises
to be a rugged, spirited and
exciting match.
Lakeland enters the rivalry on
the momentum of four wins out
of five games played against
Bethel. Last year was the largest
margin of victory for the Muskies.
Also notched into Lakeland's han-dle
are two Badger-Gopher Con-ference
titles.
But this is a different year,
and Bethel knows it. The Royals
are definitely up for this game.
The season opener against Sioux
Falls was a moral victory.
The defeat at Mayville was a
blow, but not a demoralizing de-feat.
The men, after surging back
in the second half to score two
touchdowns, have the confidence
that they can win.
Coach Owen Halleen regards
Lakeland as one of Bethel's three
toughest opponents this year.
Northland and Mayville are the
other two. No player on Bethel's
squad feels Mayville won their
game because they were the better
team, and the men know they can
beat Lakeland if they can get go-ing
the first half.
To beat Lakeland Bethel will
have to stop two of the finest
fullbacks they will be facing this
year. Lakeland adds to this dou-ble
threat of Marty Jurgensen
and Charley Morrissey a strong
line and a quarterback who can
throw.
The story of Bethel's one-and-one
record this season is best sum-med
up by coach Owen Halleen,
"We're a second half ball club."
In the 28-13 victory over Sioux
Falls and the 16-13 loss to May-ville
Bethel scored a total of seven
points in the first half and 34 in
the second.
In the Mayville game the Roy-als
could get nothing going in
the first half. It looked like an-other
routine victory for the
Comets, who are quite accustom-ed
to them after only one loss
in three years. Two touchdowns
